(Get the code!)
I completely agree with what Adrian Glaubitz has posted on the dupe Bug 443282:
The text is just *ugly* and it's a huge step backwards compared to Jaunty IMHO ! That reminds me of my days with SuSE Linux 5.3 with kernel 2.0.38 and not the current version of Ubuntu as of fall 2009. People will complain about this. If I want to have text boot messages, I turn splash screens off manually, but the default boot design should be neat and all graphically. If you can't use KMS for whatever reason, then you should have stayed with usplash.
I suggest blanking the screen completely during boot. I hope to see KMS-based splash screens in 10.04, though.
